Jollybear,
I asked you where in scripture does it say we go to heaven as a holding tank then come down to earth. You gave me Philipians 1 as an example
"21For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. 22If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall...
Jollybear, it has been a real pleasure to talk with you today. I will be signing off shortly, but will wait for your reply and research and get back with you as soon as possible.
I can agree with that but I think there is more.
Revelation 12:7-9 -And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. 9And the great dragon was cast out, that...

Oh one second. You misunderstood me on that part. After we die, i do believe souls go to heaven or hell and its a temporary holding place before there reunited with there dead body at the resurrection. Then they remain on earth.

- And no man hath ascended up to...

On OUR future resurrection?
Well, first i know some folk think Jesus resurrection was symbolic or a spiritual resurrection, but i dont read it like that. I hear the new testament ringing tha t it was literal. It also had spiritual overtones, granted, but it also had a literal...
Jollybear, I know that this is a loaded question, it may even take some time for you to answer this. I am not here to argue with you or anyone. I know the Bible pretty well....so if I am wrong in something as long as it can be proven by scripture in God's Word, I want to be corrected and...
Curious George said, Lol, are you really excusing lying by saying but all the cool kids are doing it?
No, I do not excuse anyone who lies. No matter which side you are on this is wrong. I was asking sun rise what he meant by coming from the Ministry of Truth.
sun rise
Did you watch this Press Briefing when this happened or are you just quoting from all the others I see that are talking of a doctored video that they have seen. What do you mean by coming from the Ministry of Truth. Trump was caught in a lie the other day, and it was exposed "In one...

Since both of you seem to differ about three days and it's meaning on Christ/Yeshua's resurrection - how long is this three days or your oppinions?

I'm curious to know how many people here are religious and how many are not. I realize that only a small percentage of people who post regularly on the forums will answer, still. I would like to hear from the religious why they think the non religious post here...

I believe I am one although no one has officially declared me one.
Basically the way I see it is that a heretic is anyone who disagrees with a person or group that claims to be the religious authority.
Comment: Great definition!
For instance in one of the churches I attended...

Your response in a way mirrors that of the author of this thread @Disciple of Jesus in that you resolve the contradictions in the Bible in a matter to justify what you believe. This is the way of many diverse conflicting interpretations and many churches, each justifying what...
